Zeiss Distagon T* Lenses Pricing

Post by sciolist »

Adorama has listed two Carl Zeiss Distagon lenses at eBay.com – listing nos. 235680551893 and 256776534790 – that would appear to be of the same kind, each with f/2.0 maximum apertures, each with T* coatings, each in similar condition, and each intended for the 16mm format. The 8mm lens with PL adapter is priced at $1,320.00 and the 24mm with PL mount $4,099.00. Can anyone explain this great price disparity?

Supply and demand?

„Very Good“ vs. „Good“ (with „Good“ allowing the lens to have fungus, dust, …)?
